Question

Remote Desktop

I set SOHO in our building : Lyncsis router, a printer and four PCs. I established the Remote Desktop connection with one of computers located in the other end of our building. Everything was fine. But when I tried to connect the Remote Desktop to my computer in my office from that remote one, I failed to do that.

I checked all settings on both PCs Firewalls, settings in the router's Firewall, checked both accounts have permissions to operate the Remote Desktop, but no matter what I tried I still cannot get the Remote Desktop connection from that computer. It works only in one direction. I use dynamic IP addressing in the router and double checked the addresses on both PCs.

just checked

Just checked in the Local Users and Groups console both accounts. Both are set to the administrative group. Both are members of the Remote Desktop Users. The Remote Tab in the System Properties certainly is checked otherwise I would have no connection in the first place. But the problem still remains the same- from the computer 1 to computer 2the RDP works OK, from the computer 2 to 1 it doesn't. Message I got - "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again".
